i graduated from undergrad in may 2003, did a year of service work and am now in south america this year working and am planning on applying this summer (i would have been out for 3 years if i start fall 2006.. praying to the med school gods that i get in anywhere)... ive heard that its good for non-trads to have recent coursework, but dont know if i fall into this category (i might have to take stats as a pre-req to apply to ucla... kill me)... any advice on if i should take some courses while im applying (and am i bound to take them if i list them as future coursework on the amcas??), if so which ones are recommended and does it makes a difference where you end up taking them (as in can i take it at a community college to save money or is it better to take them at a 4 year institution).. thanks for any help out there... i dont want to be lazy, but a lot of med schools websites are vague and expensive international phone calls to admissions offices are not too appealling
